A church of about 20 families from the Chakma people group had been gathering peacefully for worship in a tin hut for more than 10 years. Shortly after they started constructing a church building in their village, a group of thugs destroyed the church building’s windows and threatened to torture or kill the men of the church, causing the believers to flee into the jungle for several weeks.
The frightened women and children lived together in one home for safety. However, the same thugs found the women and beat them with canes, leaving them bruised. The thugs also looted the believers’ homes, stealing their crops and livestock. For safety, the Christian children have not attended school since the initial attack.
Pray for these Christian families to remain strong in their faith despite the pain they have had to endure and the uncertainties they now face. Pray that they will find comfort and peace in God and all their needs, both physical and emotional, will be divinely provided for.
Pray that those who are persecuting these Christians will hear the gospel message, repent and receive salvation.
Pray for completion of the church building’s construction.
